DD is in love with baby Joel. So sweet. PS DD wears hats 100% of the time and now is upset if J doesn't have one too. It's a bit annoying.

Faith is one week old today! I'm still a bit bruised and tender from my c-section, but otherwise recovery is going great. I'm peeing like a racehorse shedding all of the retained fluids which means I'm also dropping weight making my belly feel like jello. We are settling into a routine, but I wouldn't call it a schedule. She is a good sleeper from what I can tell, sometimes at night she has a little trouble going back to sleep after a feeding, but if I move to the couch and put her on my chest she settles right down. We have a deep recliner sectional so I can prop us both up in a way I feel confident she isn't going to roll off of me or the couch. Mealtimes are starting to find a routine, I'm nursing for 15 minutes on each side and then bottle feeding her 2 oz of formula (or whatever she wants). We go in for a weight check on Friday and I'm hoping she is gaining weight now. She is getting a little less red and yellow each day and we fall more in love with her sweet face every minute!

I’m sure it just makes the February due daters feel more anxious, but having a 2 month BMB is like the gift that keeps on giving with all these babies still expected soon!!

I love seeing all the squishes, but it makes me anxious for my own! With my last BMB on TD, I had a December due date and DD ended up being born in November so I was one of the early ones. Not so much this time!

Not so much this time! With DD1 my EDD was moved. Based on LMP it was 11/7. Then after a couple ultrasounds it was moved to 11/17. And then she came 9 days later on 11/26! Talk about screwing with my head!

Dry skin on newborns... put lotion on it or leave it alone? I’ve always left it alone. DD2s face is really dry right now but I’ve heard you aren’t supposed to mess with it.

The version didn't work today but I'm going to try whatever I can still. I went for more acupuncture today, I was able to get in with a woman that apparently has a good rep for getting babies to flip. She did a bunch of stuff: the moxa, needles plus some electric stim. And I have a chiropractor appt scheduled for tomorrow with someone certified in Webster technique. The midwife that was helping this morning said to do all of this stuff if I can. I'm waiting for someone from labor and delivery to call me so we can schedule a c-section for next week, but ideally she will be head down before then. They are OK with letting me wait until next week, closer to my due date. The worst part today was all the prep going on. The nurse had to try 4 times to get the IV in. And that was after I got the injection to relax the uterus, but it made me all shaky and my heart was racing from it. The actual version part of the process was uncomfortable and the doc was pushing pretty darn hard but I wouldn't say it actually hurt. I'm glad I decided to request the doc that I did. I'm also trying to get the surgery scheduled with him. DH was super supportive and helpful to have with me, of course. He rubbed my feet through the whole thing. We also found out that as of tomorrow, no kids under 18 will be allowed in to the hospital due to the flu. So I really don't want to be away from E for 4 nights!
